module ActionController
  # Handles implicit rendering for a controller action that does not
  # explicitly respond with +render+, +respond_to+, +redirect+, or +head+.
  #
  # For API controllers, the implicit response is always <tt>204 No Content</tt>.
  #
  # For all other controllers, we use these heuristics to decide whether to
  # render a template, raise an error for a missing template, or respond with
  # <tt>204 No Content</tt>:
  #
  # First, if we DO find a template, it's rendered. Template lookup accounts
  # for the action name, locales, format, variant, template handlers, and more
  # (see +render+ for details).
  #
  # Second, if we DON'T find a template but the controller action does have
  # templates for other formats, variants, etc., then we trust that you meant
  # to provide a template for this response, too, and we raise
  # <tt>ActionController::UnknownFormat</tt> with an explanation.
  #
  # Third, if we DON'T find a template AND the request is a page load in a web
  # browser (technically, a non-XHR GET request for an HTML response) where
  # you reasonably expect to have rendered a template, then we raise
  # <tt>ActionView::UnknownFormat</tt> with an explanation.
  #
  # Finally, if we DON'T find a template AND the request isn't a browser page
  # load, then we implicitly respond with <tt>204 No Content</tt>.
